Howdy all,
Good job Gary on helping Montana "Billings" list member Bill.

I saw an ad in yesterdays Salt Lake Tribune.  It was a 1983 Westy with a
2.6 V6.  Yep, thats what I said also.  I called.  It is an 83 westy in
great shape.  Has 91K on the body and camper etc.  The person said it
had a Mustang 2.6 L engine put in about 1.5 years ago. Anyone know much
about this engine replacement?? They were asking $4700.  They are
selling because they bought a boat and are consolidating vehicles.  It
has Stove, sink fridge and it said floor furnace.  Thats all I know.  If
anyone is interested I could get the number.  I left it at work.   Also
they said that this installation did not require the bed to be
modified.  That is all I know.
Yall have a good one.

My bus has been running superb.  I put in the external thermostatic
controlled oil cooler in early July  and it has not gotten over 240
since , even on the big hills in August.  I mounted it above the tranny
out of site.  Also no oil leaks, new tires.    It pays to maintain.  I
am considering calling it the "521Bus" cause for awhile there last
summer it seemed I spent 5 hours under the bus for every 1 hour enjoying
it. (Not saying that laying flat under the bus admiring its
undercarriage isn't enjoyable. : )  )  ratio 5:1 = 521. Get it?? I know,
dumb but catchy.  It did make it to Jackson Hole, Burningman and Jerome
since mid July.  almost 3,000 miles trouble free.  Knock on wood, knock
on wood.
